Intimate Secretary [Live] Lyrics

I've got a rabbit, it likes to hop
I've got a girl and she likes to shop
The other foot looks like it won't drop
I had an uncle and he got shot

Is this greeting the type that's meant for me?
Are you part of this kakistocracy?

This ringing in my ears won't stop
I've got a red Japanese tea-pot
I've got a pen but I lost the top
I've got so many things you haven't got

Our fellow's craft is just not for sharing
He's not an intimate secretary

I've got a rabbit it likes to hop
I've got a girl and she likes to shop
The other foot looks like it won't drop
I had an uncle but he got shot

Then on rubble of scummest malarchy
Down with luck we'll see ecclesiarchy
Our fellow's craft is just not for sharing
He's not an intimate secretary

The ex-archives inspector inquisitor (this ringing in my ears won't stop)
The demockery lust streets master (I've got a red Japanese tea-pot)
Are you part of this kakistocracy? (I've got a pen but I lost the top)
Is this greeting the type that's meant for me? (I've got so many things you haven't got)

Intimate Secretary

I've got a rabbit, it likes to hop 
I've got a girl and she likes to shop 
The other foot looks like it won't drop 
I had an uncle and he got shot

Is this greeting the type that's meant for me? 
Are you part of this kakistocracy?

This ringing in my ears won't stop 
I've got a red Japanese tea-pot 
I've got a pen but I lost the top 
I've got so many things you haven't got

Our fellow's craft is just not for sharing 
He's not an intimate secretary

I've got a rabbit it likes to hop 
I've got a girl and she likes to shop 
The other foot looks like it won't drop 
I had an uncle but he got shot

Then on rubble of scummest malarchy 
Down with luck we'll see ecclesiarchy 
Our fellow's craft is just not for sharing 
He's not an intimate secretary

The ex-archives inspector inquisitor (this ringing in my ears won't stop)
The demockery lust streets master (I've got a red Japanese tea-pot)
Are you part of this kakistocracy? (I've got a pen but I lost the top)
Is this greeting the type that's meant for me? (I've got so many things you haven't got)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
